I'm seeing the same, and currently work around this with a reasonably limited vfs.zfs.arc_max. Without such a limit I see (on a system with 24 GB RAM): CPU: 0.3% user, 0.0% nice, 0.9% system, 0.1% interrupt, 98.8% idle Mem: 14M Active, 1228K Inact, 32K Laundry, 23G Wired, 376M Free ARC: 19G Total, 3935M MFU, 14G MRU, 82M Anon, 223M Header, 876M Other 18G Compressed, 36G Uncompressed, 2.02:1 Ratio Swap: 24G Total, 888M Used, 23G Free, 3% Inuse, 8892K In, 5136K Out sysctl vfs.zfs.arc_max=15988656640 results in: Mem: 129M Active, 72M Inact, 36K Laundry, 18G Wired, 5149M Free ARC: 15G Total, 3997M MFU, 10G MRU, 40M Anon, 205M Header, 877M Other 13G Compressed, 28G Uncompressed, 2.08:1 Ratio Swap: 24G Total, 796M Used, 23G Free, 3% Inuse, 16K In The system was mostly idle at both times, just some Samba traffic and mail being checked by spamassassin. And I noticed it (this time) when the spamassassin processes were aborted due to a time limit. I think that this problem must have been introduced in the last few weeks, but cannot give a better estimate (do not reboot that often). But I had already applied the arc_max setting a week ago (and had not put it in sysctl.conf in the hope that the ARC growth was a temporary problem in the ZFS code, soon to be fixed ...).
